Step by step: how to draw 6 to 2 Muggulu

1. Mark the 6-to-2 dot grid.
2. Across the middle of the grid write 2025 in hollow, double-lined numerals.
3. Above the numbers draw a spiral in a small circle and surround it with four rounded petals to make a flower, with a pointed veined leaf tucked under each side.
4. Below the numbers draw a larger four-petal flower with a spiral centre and a pointed veined leaf rising from each upper side.
5. Inside each petal of the two four-petal flowers draw three short parallel strokes.
6. At each end of 2025 draw a rosebud — a spiral heart wrapped in curved, cupped petals.
